Trauma Informed EMDR Therapy

Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy, people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. However, EMDR counseling demonstrates that the mind can indeed heal from psychological trauma much like the body recovers from physical trauma.

When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound — it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy illustrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If this system is blocked or imbalanced due to the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can lead to intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.

As a certified EMDR therapist, I utilize detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions to assist you in activating your natural healing processes. This approach is especially effective for trauma treatment and can also be beneficial for those struggling with addiction therapy.
